Chapter Start

----------------------------------------------------------

Ruby: Wonder what those two were so worked up about.

The little Red questioned as the two passerbys seemed like they were the oddest pair. One loud mouth gal and the other, a timid lad.

Yang: Oh, who knows... So! You seem awfully chipper this morning.

Ruby smirked a little as she takes out her weapon from the locker. Crescent Rose.

Ruby: Yep! No more awkward small talk or 'getting to know you' stuff. Today I get to let my sweetheart do the talking.

Yang: Well, remember Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you want to grow up, you're going to have to meet people new people and learn to work together.

Yang explained with a hand on her hip, she didn't know that it would come out of her mouth. But, Ruby doesn't have to know about that.

Ruby: *Groan* You sound like dad! Okay, first of all, what does meeting people have to do with fighting? And secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up. I drink milk!

Yang: But what about when we form teams?

Ruby: Uhm, I don't know, I-I'll just be on your team or something.

Yang then started playing with her hair as she tries not to break Ruby's heart at the next sentence.

Yang: Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?

Ruby: My dearest sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?!

Yang: W-What?! No! Of course I do, I just thought... I don't know, maybe it would help you break out of your shell!

Ruby: What the?! I don't need to break out of shell, that's absolutely-

As she was about say something, a pair suddenly finished her sentence out loud. A male with white hair and the other, a blonde. F/n and Jaune.

F/n: Ridiculous!

Jaune: Ridiculous!

Also Jaune: There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high!

F/n: I know right?!

Jaune: Ugh, why does this have to happen today?!

The duo continued on to their lockers which is just a few lockers away from Weiss and another girl.

She wore her red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet. She also wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her green eyes.

She was tall and quite muscular compared to most of the other girls at Beacon, the fact that F/n almost turned his head is quite something.

As a top, she wore a brown overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally, Pyrrha wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt.

No doubt that this girl, this absolute unit, is Pyrrha Nikos. And now, she's getting her ass kissed by Weiss Schnee. Not literal, just the pathetic kind.

Weiss: So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you would like to be on?

Also Weiss: I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual, such as yourself.

Pyrrha tilts her head to the side, wondering about what kind of team she'd want to be in.

Pyrrha: Hm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may.

Weiss: Well, I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together.

Pyrrha already knew what was happening from the beginning, it all felt like home. People wanting to get close to her just because of the fame.

Then again, what can she do? She can only not hurt this person's feelings and try to be polite as possible when giving a reply.

Pyrrha: Well that sounds grand!

F/n heard their conversation and instinctively looked at the direction where they stood. He could see that forced smile from a mile away, anyone could. There's just a problem that the  'anyone' mentioned is lacking in the department.

He grabbed his gear and closed the locker door. The male took a deep breath and approached the two girls. Mainly because he wanted to get the girl out of this crappy situation, even if he didn't know who she was.

Just as Weiss was done fantasizing about being a celebrity inside the school, F/n chirped in with another one of his smartass comments.

F/n: Seriously, Schnee. Is that your way of making friends? Thought it'd be with class but man, you disappoint.

Weiss gave him one of her nastiest glare. Not the kind with lust in it, it's the one with "I hate you and I will kill you, so shut up" vibe to it.

Weiss: You again? What are you doing here?

F/n: Yesterday ain't exactly the last time you'll see this face, heiress. Also,
I'm thinking of recruiting  her to my team.

Pyrrha's smile vanished even more, thinking that another one wants her to be in their team as a mascot.

Weiss: You? Ha, As if! Do you even have any idea know who she is?

F/n: This woman? This absolute unit? Not even the slightest.

Weiss: Ugh. This is Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Hello again!

F/n: 'Sup?

She glared at him again, it's mostly a running gag by now when it comes to making fun of Weiss.

Weiss: Pyrrha graduated top of her class in Sanctum.

F/n: Wuzzat?

Weiss: Ah! She's won the Mistral Regional Tournament 4 years in a row... A new record!

F/n: Hmm.... The what?

He asked holding a mathematics book.

Weiss: She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!

Jaune then chirps in from a distance.

Jaune: Whoa! That was you?!

F/n: Like I said, she does not ring any bells princess.

Weiss: What the-?! Have you been living under a rock or something?!

F/n: Nope, but that doesn't mean I don't know some boundaries. Not like you.

Weiss: And what's that supposed to mean?!

F/n: Like I'd tell you. You're a smart person, right? Figure it out. Catch you later, .

With that, he waved at Pyrrha and left the scene with his hands tucked in his pockets. Weiss huffed in anger, before scoffing away from the male's direction.

Weiss: The nerve of some people!

Pyrrha however, blushed at his words. Yes, it was pretty vague. But she could tell that he tried to get her away from the spotlight. She owes him for that one reason alone. To be recognized as a regular person. Not some super star.

Pyrrha: Honestly speaking, he's one type of person that I'd love to be in a team with.
